Purchasing a used RV offers a few unique advantages over purchasing a new RV. Depending upon your situation, purchasing used may actually be the best option. If you are not sure whether or not you fall into one of these categories, check out this guide from Florida RVs, LLC.
You Have a Tighter Budget
Depreciation is the process by which a new RV loses its value over time. It starts the minute an RV leaves the lot and is the most extreme during the first few years of ownership. As a result, used RVs tend to cost less than new RVs, even if the camper in question is only a few years old. This makes buying used a great option for those on a tight budget.
You Are New to RVing
Inexperienced RV owners often struggle to find a model that works for them. They may purchase an RV only to find that it doesn’t offer enough storage space, or has some expensive feature that they rarely use. If you are new to RV camping, buying a used RV can be a great way to try out a particular model. If you decide that you like the RV, you can stick with it or purchase a similar replacement later on. If you don’t like the RV, you can easily sell it off and use the experience you gained to pick out a model that better suits your needs.
You Won’t Use It Often or Won’t Travel Far
One disadvantage of purchasing a used RV is that they usually don’t last as long as new RVs. However, depending on your situation, this might not matter as much. Short-distance trips and trips that are short in duration tend to put less wear and tear on an RV. If your busy schedule doesn’t permit you much time to RV camp, it may be more economical to purchase a used RV rather than an expensive new RV that will spend most of its time in storage.
